everything was really good except for the service. When your paying so much for a meal at such a high-end resultant you should have excellent service. We believe there was maybe one waiter for the entire restaurant but there were a couple managers that did nothing to help.

Just very mid. The sushi is tasty but didn’t taste wildly fresh. Rolls were pretty solid but still not mind blowing. The dessert is not something you want to miss though! Amazing

Our family and friends love this restaurant. Great food really nice waiter I would of given over all a 5 star but the receptionist had a horrible attitude, in this scary time I came in to confirm and she acted like I was putting her out. She went to seat us I asked for a different table she just said no with no explanation. Again put out attitude. Others with me said the same without knowing what I thought. Great restaurant but that starts the experience off on the wrong foot.
